In the Nineteenth Century appears an
article by Mr.. Gladstone entitled "Elector-
al Facts of 1897" in which he says: The
general election of 1886 indicated not the
conviction but the perplexity OF the coun.
try. The results OF the recent elections
are equivalent to an improved Liberal
strength of 90 per cent and giving the Con.
servatives the benefit OF all doubts, a new
election would leave the latter in a minor
ity OF 1O3. This basis is to narrow to al
low OF demonstration or the expression
OF undue confidence on the part OF the lib
erals; but viewing the figure in cold blood
rational Tory or dissident will proba
bly, regard them as OF marked significance
and may even begin to inquire, in q refec'
tive temper, "Where is all this to end?"
